The unit is large, but pocket size. You can buy 2TB USB drives that are at least one fourth the size and weight. The problem is most of the encryption software that comes with the units are weak and internet based.
This unit does not require internet access to activate and use. You must remember the password you enter otherwise you will not be able to access your private financial or documents that are loaded onto the unit. The password system on the screen is well designed in that the numbers/letters show up in random positions each time. This makes it harder for anyone looking over your shoulder to remember the sequence you used to connect the drive.

This is a great product. Works without any problems. Very easy to use it. I would highly recommend for a back up of all sensitive information.

The Product did not work out of the box, customer service was useless, don’t even know their product
I finally got it working with the help of a techno

When I received the product the seal was broken like it had been previously returned. Product was in like-new condition so I kept it.
A little bit disappointing but the product itself is excellent.

If you’ve researched an SSD drive you’ve probably found that it’ a difficult task to find a balance between build quality, design, read/write speeds, security features, portability and company reputation. Kingston has found that balance with this device.
It feels solid, well constructed and looks great. I personally like the color finding it easy to spot when searching around the office space, or bed. No sharp corners. Some non-slip silicon pads on the back would have been nice. It comes with a zippered neoprene case which is black with blue highlights. A nice feature is that it’s not super easy to take the SSD in and out of the case, which is just what you want if you forget to zip it shut during transport. It has an non-closable, outside slip-pocket which ends halfway up the case. Too shallow for the cords and manual to fit securely. It would have been a nice extra to have an additional zippered pocket to keep these in or to have the pocket extend the full height of the case.
The user LCD screen is large and well lit, as are the numbers and letters for entering the password and moving around the menu options. The user interface is super-intuitive and easy to move around in. Fingers work fine but for big fingers and/or fewer mistakes, using a stylus is optimal (again, a deeper side-pocket would have been nice). The password is easy to set up and you have some different menu options for that – length, letters, numbers or both. It allows different user passwords and you can enable a variable shut down timer. The device powers off as soon as you detach it from your device – also a great peace-of-mind security feature.
It’s not a blazing fast SSD but I found that all the super-fast SSDs didn’t have any security features, like password protection, at this price point or even somewhat above. I can only comment on the write speed at this point which, using a Thunderbolt 4 port and cable on an iPad Pro with M2 chip, resulted in writing 58GB in just under 10 minutes. If my math is correct, that’s 100 Megabites (1/10th of a GB)/second or about 840 Megabits/second. I’ll try to edit this review when I have a read speed using the same device and cable.
The password protection and encryption is second to none. No one is getting any data from the device without your password. That’s priceless. No software to install or update on each device, go extinct or compromise your data.
It’s super-portable, having read that it works with all major desktop and mobile OS’s – MacOS, iOS, Windows, Android and Linux (prob. more). This, in combination with no security software, you can be almost guaranteed to plug this into any device, enter your password (if you set one up) and be good to go.
Kingston has has great reputation and long history in the data retention/security world and I’ve heard that their customer service is really good.
Overall, outside of a few relatively minor tweaks that would have been nice, a well-balanced device with which you can confidently keep your data secure.

We have a variety of serious security hard drives and flash drives by various manufacturers. This was the unquestionably most east to set up and make progress. Simply plug in, confirm language; enter password, reenter password and you are in business. We have the 3.84 TB version. We were interested in serious security, not speed. Of note: all letters are capitalized and there are no special characters so there is still room for improving security. None the less, a pass phrase is acceptable just as a short code. We love this for international travel!
This product and all the variations I’ve tried so far by these folks have turned out amazing. I’ll post pictures to back it. People need to know. –

Un producto bien diseñado, similar al pendrive que comparte la misma linea de producto IronKey, funciona perfectamente y es muy rápido, lo único que se le hecha en falta que sí tiene el IronKey KeyPad 200C es una batería interna, para poder arrancar sin alimentarse del puerto usb. Personalmente tengo los dos y han sido las mejores compras de memorias externas que he realizado, si no costaran tanto dinero, que no digo que no lo valgan, solo tendría almacenamiento externo con esta tecnología. Personalmente después de comprarlos y probarlos me han quedado impresionado lo bien que funcionan. Solo queda esperar que realmente proteja la información y no haya puertas traseras.

The overall process of setup was simple. This was on a MacBook Pro. It doesn’t come with a manual for full setup, but the setup process can be found on their website. After I completed the setup I attempted to drag and drop some files and it worked out very well. These were just documents, not photos. If the documents are in the cloud, it’s a little slower because of the download, but where I am the internet is slow.
I’m happy with my purchase and if I have any issues I’ll edit this review.
